  1. ***** So, I was reading the ponyfall fanfics, when I happened across one that was, for lack of a different word, "unsanctioned".
  2. ***** The hate was mind-bogglingly intense. Brutal. I felt the author's pain.
  3. ***** So I wrote my own, to test the water. I wasn't even subtle about it. Here's the logs from when it hit the community. I am nothing if not honest, and so these logs are unedited. (Apart from a redaction early on, where irrelevant things were discussed regarding ponyfall plot.)
  4. *****
  5. Apr 03 02:17:01 *#ponyfall* Welcome back, and you're listening to #ponyfall
  6. Apr 03 02:17:01 *#ponyfall* [][ ][ ][ ][P][O][N][Y][][F][A][L][L][ ][ ][ ][]
  7. Apr 03 02:17:01 *#ponyfall* Sponsored by ok. (Wed Mar 21 21:57:19 2012)
  8. Apr 03 02:17:01 -srsbsns- [#ponyfall] This is the IRC channel for the PonyFall collab project. Check http://www.fimfiction.net/index.php?view=group&group=405 for more information.
  9. Apr 03 02:17:07 <__Belgarion__> GO AWAY
  10. Apr 03 02:17:09 <Gancolt> I is glimpses to other worlds. II is small, minimal interaction. III is with few individuals traveling between, but generally uncontrolled. IV is where travel is possible and controlled. V is where populaces are moved forcibly, but can be moved back.
  11. Apr 03 02:17:17 <__Belgarion__> WE DON'T WANT YOU
  12. *****
  13. ***** This is what we call a "nice welcome". How about that.
  14. ***** I lurked a little longer, waiting. See, I'd submitted my "unauthorized" story earlier, and it was 4th in queue - 40 minutes away, or so.
  15. *****
  16. Apr 03 02:22:01 <Meld|School> ...Uhhh, quick question... why has Poul infiltrated this chat?
  17. Apr 03 02:22:02 <Gancolt> The rest is speculation until Drae makes a final decision on it.
  18. Apr 03 02:22:12 <Gancolt> Because he fucking felt like it, Meldy.
  19. Apr 03 02:22:14 <Gancolt> :I
  20. Apr 03 02:22:15 <Gancolt> Just sayin'.
  21. Apr 03 02:22:40 <DragonLS> how's that rollcall comin' gancolt?
  22. Apr 03 02:24:29 <Gancolt> About to get started on it.
  23. Apr 03 02:25:07 <Link02> blah
  24. Apr 03 02:25:22 <Link02> Changed the description of my PonyFall
  25. ***** Cue someone spotting the fic making it's way to the front page...
  26. Apr 03 02:25:23 <Belgianchief> great, another Twilight Sparkle Ponyfall fic
  27. Apr 03 02:25:33 <DragonLS> what's wrong Belgian?
  28. Apr 03 02:25:35 <Belgianchief> http://www.fimfiction.net/story/18754/Ponyfall%3A-The-Twilight-Jimmy-Rustler
  29. Apr 03 02:25:47 <Belgianchief> just showed up
  30. Apr 03 02:25:58 <Belgianchief> and it almost claims that it's part of the collab
  31. Apr 03 02:26:08 <DragonLS> oh god... this isn't good
  32. Apr 03 02:26:12 <DragonLS> we have copycats now
  33. Apr 03 02:26:16 <Belgianchief> nope
  34. Apr 03 02:26:35 <DragonLS> thumb it down folks
  35. ***** What. Is. This?
  36. *****
  37. ***** From this point onwards, it's straight logs. You can draw your own conclusions.
  38. ***** They're not all bad, but there's a few bad apples leading the charge.
  39. *****
  40. Apr 03 02:26:43 <Link02> Looks like your jimmies have been rustled!
  41. Apr 03 02:26:51 <DragonLS> says the gorilla
  42. Apr 03 02:27:25 <Belgianchief> Poultron, I'm sorry to disturb you again, but is there any way we can stop things like that?
  43. Apr 03 02:27:52 <Meld|School> You know what, I'm going to hold mine back.n
  44. Apr 03 02:27:52 <+Poultron> no
  45. ***** FYI - Poultron's one of just 3 mods on FIMFiction. He does a damn fine job of it, and I regret inconveniencing him, even indirectly.
  46. Apr 03 02:27:55 <__Belgarion__> Damn
  47. Apr 03 02:27:59 <DragonLS> aw crap
  48. Apr 03 02:28:09 <+Poultron> we dont sanction the collab
  49. Apr 03 02:28:12 <__Belgarion__> make sure your jimmies reamin unrustled
  50. Apr 03 02:28:13 <+Poultron> so we dont care if people "pretend" to be i nit
  51. Apr 03 02:28:20 <Belgianchief> I'm just asking
  52. Apr 03 02:28:23 <+Poultron> just bitch at them yourself
  53. Apr 03 02:28:25 <__Belgarion__> BIt harsh
  54. Apr 03 02:28:31 <+Poultron> not meant to be
  55. Apr 03 02:28:33 <+Poultron> i just meant like
  56. Apr 03 02:28:35 <__Belgarion__> I know
  57. Apr 03 02:28:37 <+Poultron> we arent going to intervene
  58. Apr 03 02:28:42 <__Belgarion__> But it seemed like it
  59. Apr 03 02:28:42 <+Poultron> because this is your collab
  60. Apr 03 02:28:43 <+Poultron> not ours
  61. Apr 03 02:28:50 <Belgianchief> yeah, we'll manage, but just checking
  62. Apr 03 02:28:55 <+Poultron> i meant that we dont "officially" sanction it
  63. Apr 03 02:28:56 <DragonLS> guys
  64. Apr 03 02:28:59 <DragonLS> calm down
  65. Apr 03 02:29:01 <Meld|School> I'm going to wait until the other PonyFall fics have cleared of the featured box and there are no others posted on the same day.
  66. Apr 03 02:29:03 <+Poultron> what i meant was uh
  67. Apr 03 02:29:05 <+Poultron> condone?
  68. Apr 03 02:29:06 <DragonLS> it's just a copycat... shit like this happens all the time
  69. Apr 03 02:29:08 <+Poultron> idont know the right word
  70. Apr 03 02:29:10 <+Poultron> im really tired
  71. Apr 03 02:29:15 <DragonLS> PonyFall isn't some god people ahve to worship
  72. Apr 03 02:29:20 <DragonLS> it's our problem, and we can take care of it
  73. Apr 03 02:29:26 <Belgianchief> yeah
  74. Apr 03 02:29:37 <Meld|School> Leave Poultron alone> Legally, they don't have to do anything.
  75. Apr 03 02:29:56 <__Belgarion__> Lets fuck his shit up?
  76. Apr 03 02:29:56 <DragonLS> however...
  77. Apr 03 02:29:59 <DragonLS> no Bel
  78. Apr 03 02:30:05 <DragonLS> we don't want to turn this into a flame war
  79. Apr 03 02:30:05 <__Belgarion__> I was kidding
  80. Apr 03 02:30:11 <__Belgarion__> Look at my comment
  81. Apr 03 02:30:11 <DragonLS> just dislike the fic and move along
  82. Apr 03 02:30:24 <Meld|School> Just ask the authors kindly to not make it seem like they are in the collab.
  83. Apr 03 02:30:36 <Meld|School> Or at least have a disclaimer.
  84. Apr 03 02:30:50 <Meld|School> The one I read wasn't too bad, it was just bad timing.
  85. Apr 03 02:31:13 <Gancolt> Copycat fic already?
  86. Apr 03 02:31:18 <Gancolt> Let me take a look.
  87. Apr 03 02:31:22 <__Belgarion__> He is doing it on purpos
  88. Apr 03 02:31:23 <Meld|School> Don't you start
  89. Apr 03 02:31:39 * Asuya (*@*.net) joins #ponyfall!
  90. Apr 03 02:32:19 <Meld|School> http://www.fimfiction.net/story/18754/Ponyfall%3A-The-Twilight-Jimmy-Rustler
  91. Apr 03 02:32:21 <__Belgarion__> Sup
  92. Apr 03 02:32:30 <Meld|School> http://www.fimfiction.net/story/18483/-Out-of-place%3B-inspired-by-the-colab-ponyfall
  93. Apr 03 02:32:34 <Meld|School> Those are the copies.
  94. Apr 03 02:32:37 <Meld|School> Nuff said.
  95. Apr 03 02:33:13 <DragonLS> shit, there's two of them!?
  96. Apr 03 02:33:32 <Gancolt> I'll approach this. The copycats that claim to be inspired by PonyFall can be ignored.
  97. Apr 03 02:33:46 <Gancolt> The ones claiming to be PonyFall are the ones to be straightened out immediately.
  98. Apr 03 02:34:07 <Belgianchief> as is the case with the Jimmy Rustler one
  99. Apr 03 02:34:09 <DragonLS> the first one is an obvious troll
  100. Apr 03 02:34:22 <DragonLS> ... a decent one at that
  101. Apr 03 02:34:38 <Link02> Love & Tolerance. I take it that is a revoked saying in this group?
  102. Apr 03 02:34:50 <Gancolt> Not at all.
  103. Apr 03 02:34:51 <Belgianchief> hey, we never said anything about the fic being bad
  104. Apr 03 02:35:00 <Meld|School> Link02, we were all really pissed.
  105. Apr 03 02:35:10 <Gancolt> I tolerate their trolling, but I do wish that others won't be misled to think it's the real thing.
  106. Apr 03 02:35:10 * Link02 looks at all the hate comments on the second one
  107. ***** This is referring to the one that got me going.
  108. Apr 03 02:35:15 <Belgianchief> we just said that it's pretending to be part of the collab, which it is not
  109. Apr 03 02:35:17 <Meld|School> Because it was, like, right after one of ours got posted.
  110. Apr 03 02:36:03 <Gancolt> Then we post the first comments, let people know it isn't official, and leave it be.
  111. Apr 03 02:36:04 <Asuya> oh hey, Hive's fic is up
  112. Apr 03 02:36:24 <Gancolt> We have no business other than that.
  113. Apr 03 02:36:36 <Meld|School> And already it has a troll comment.
  114. Apr 03 02:36:57 <DragonLS> lol wow... the guy in the second one is pretty butthurt about it
  115. Apr 03 02:36:59 <__Belgarion__> Click on more in the jimmy rustler one
  116. Apr 03 02:37:09 <__Belgarion__> I lied, my jimmies are rustled
  117. Apr 03 02:37:41 <Asuya> why, is it just bad or something?
  118. Apr 03 02:38:08 <DragonLS> I must admit...
  119. Apr 03 02:38:14 <DragonLS> when I see stuff like this happening, I get hyper
  120. Apr 03 02:38:32 <DragonLS> ...not the good kind of hyper
  121. Apr 03 02:38:36 <DragonLS> I need to control myself
  122. Apr 03 02:38:54 <Belgianchief> "I'm writing the Ponyfall fanfictions and there's nothing you can do to stop me" Litterally saying that in the description
  123. ***** This is me being subtle.
  124. Apr 03 02:39:00 <Asuya> I really wish that there was a place i could go to where people are nice and aren't ripping off ideas from others without evn bothering to ask
  125. Apr 03 02:39:00 <Belgianchief> that's what making me mad
  126. Apr 03 02:39:26 <Asuya> I used to think i could come to the brony community, but now i'm second guessing this community
  127. Apr 03 02:39:53 <__Belgarion__> I really dislike this silver tie guy
  128. Apr 03 02:39:59 <__Belgarion__> He negatived on my fic
  129. ***** BECAUSE IT WAS SHITTY. I took the time to read it, and even gave constructive criticism.
  130. Apr 03 02:40:19 <Asuya> so many people are just pulling the same shit as people here in my IRL town are and i've had enough
  131. Apr 03 02:40:26 <Gancolt> Asuya, this is conflict.
  132. Apr 03 02:40:30 <Gancolt> Deal with conflict.
  133. Apr 03 02:40:53 <Asuya> I understand Gan, but how i deal with conflict will like get me banned
  134. Apr 03 02:41:00 <Gancolt> Conflict won't go away by changing places.
  135. Apr 03 02:41:04 <Asuya> cause it's baaad
  136. Apr 03 02:41:07 <__Belgarion__> How do you deal wth it
  137. Apr 03 02:41:08 <Gancolt> Then find a way to deal with it within the rules.
  138. Apr 03 02:41:15 <Asuya> ......
  139. Apr 03 02:41:20 <__Belgarion__> What did you wnat to do
  140. Apr 03 02:41:43 <Asuya> last time i got in a conflict with someon, i nearly broke his nose
  141. Apr 03 02:41:49 <__Belgarion__> Not to bad
  142. Apr 03 02:41:54 <__Belgarion__> Could have doen worse
  143. Apr 03 02:42:02 * Derpy_Teh_Muffin_Mastur (*@*.net) joins #ponyfall!
  144. Apr 03 02:42:06 <__Belgarion__> Now, what are we going to do about this
  145. Apr 03 02:42:11 <__Belgarion__> Hey derpy
  146. Apr 03 02:42:12 <Asuya> had i not restrained myself, i could've killed him
  147. Apr 03 02:42:23 <__Belgarion__> That is what we are talking bout
  148. Apr 03 02:42:27 <__Belgarion__> Murdser him
  149. Apr 03 02:42:35 <__Belgarion__> Then he cannot post more troll fics
  150. Apr 03 02:42:36 <Asuya> -_-
  151. Apr 03 02:42:46 <__Belgarion__> It is a legitimate solution
  152. Apr 03 02:43:01 <Derpy_Teh_Muffin_Mastur> hey
  153. Apr 03 02:43:15 <Asuya> whatever, I'm going to turn on Welcome to the black Parade and work on revamping my horrible fic
  154. Apr 03 02:43:33 <__Belgarion__> Okay
  155. Apr 03 02:43:37 <__Belgarion__> Hey derpy
  156. Apr 03 02:43:42 <__Belgarion__> How is it going
  157. Apr 03 02:43:53 <Derpy_Teh_Muffin_Mastur> so so
  158. Apr 03 02:44:02 <__Belgarion__> good good
  159. Apr 03 02:44:18 <__Belgarion__> Did you know that robcakeran was in here earlier
  160. Apr 03 02:44:24 <__Belgarion__> the creator of MLD
  161. Apr 03 02:44:31 <Derpy_Teh_Muffin_Mastur> wow
  162. Apr 03 02:44:34 <__Belgarion__> You missed some fun convos
  163. Apr 03 02:44:38 <__Belgarion__> It is a shame
  164. Apr 03 02:44:44 <__Belgarion__> He also joined the collab
  165. Apr 03 02:44:53 <Derpy_Teh_Muffin_Mastur> nice, who's he got?
  166. Apr 03 02:45:13 * DragonLS_ (*@*) joins #ponyfall!
  167. Apr 03 02:45:19 <DragonLS_> god damn internet and its disconnections
  168. Apr 03 02:45:29 <__Belgarion__> Yep
  169. Apr 03 02:45:31 * DragonLS has quit! (SVSKilled: GHOST command used by DragonLS_)
  170. Apr 03 02:45:35 <!> DragonLS_ is now known as DragonLS
  171. Apr 03 02:45:39 <__Belgarion__> So, drags, what are we going to do
  172. Apr 03 02:45:47 <DragonLS> I wasn't here for 5 mins
  173. Apr 03 02:45:49 <DragonLS> what did I miss?
  174. Apr 03 02:45:54 <__Belgarion__> Not much
  175. Apr 03 02:46:05 <__Belgarion__> What are we going to do
  176. Apr 03 02:46:13 <DragonLS> what do you mean?
  177. Apr 03 02:46:22 <__Belgarion__> About the troll fics
  178. Apr 03 02:46:31 <DragonLS> nothing we can do but comment and dislike.
  179. Apr 03 02:46:39 <__Belgarion__> okay then
  180. Apr 03 02:46:39 <DragonLS> we can't really do much
  181. Apr 03 02:46:53 <DragonLS> but we can't go as far as a flame war. That's the #1 thing I want to avoid
  182. Apr 03 02:47:04 <DragonLS> or a drama war for that matter. The trolls want a reaction out of us
  183. ***** Tooooo late for that, by this time, I'd already gotten public comments on the story. Troll fed.
  184. Apr 03 02:47:09 <Gancolt> As far as troll fics and mislabeled fics, oru stance is simple: We state it isn't a part of the collab, and we leave.
  185. Apr 03 02:47:17 <Gancolt> *our stance
  186. Apr 03 02:47:18 <__Belgarion__> You are right
  187. Apr 03 02:47:21 <Belgianchief> I've added Hive's fic
  188. Apr 03 02:47:25 <Belgianchief> to the collab
  189. Apr 03 02:47:26 <Derpy_Teh_Muffin_Mastur> wait..troll fics?
  190. Apr 03 02:47:29 <Derpy_Teh_Muffin_Mastur> about what?
  191. Apr 03 02:47:38 <__Belgarion__> To an outward appearance, our jimmies should appear unrustled
  192. ***** Right. And I'm a pretty princess.
  193. Apr 03 02:47:46 <__Belgarion__> PonyFall
  194. Apr 03 02:47:52 * Poultron has quit! (Ping timeout: 360 seconds)
  195. Apr 03 02:47:52 <Belgianchief> http://www.fimfiction.net/story/18754/Ponyfall%3A-The-Twilight-Jimmy-Rustler
  196. Apr 03 02:47:59 <Belgianchief> Read the description and you'll understand
  197. Apr 03 02:48:15 <Gancolt> We're the first major collaboration of FiMFiction. We have to carry ourselves with a certain air and tread lightly.
  198. ***** Disagree. Conversion Bureau's beaten them to the punch, I believe.
  199. Apr 03 02:48:26 <__Belgarion__> Unrustled Jimmies
  200. Apr 03 02:48:27 <Gancolt> *a certain air of dignity and
  201. Apr 03 02:48:50 <Gancolt> We pave the path for more collaborations.
  202. Apr 03 02:49:12 <Gancolt> We cannot do this if we break down into anarchy, flame wars, and being easily trolled.
  203. Apr 03 02:49:16 <__Belgarion__> Yes
  204. Apr 03 02:49:23 <Belgianchief> I agree completely
  205. Apr 03 02:49:26 <__Belgarion__> we are doing something for the good of the community
  206. Apr 03 02:49:42 <Derpy_Teh_Muffin_Mastur> haters gonna hate
  207. Apr 03 02:49:45 <Gancolt> It starts with us, and we must remember this in how we carry ourselves.
  208. Apr 03 02:49:46 <__Belgarion__> This is the largest gathering of brony authors
  209. Apr 03 02:49:50 <__Belgarion__> You have my sword
  210. Apr 03 02:50:02 <Belgianchief> It'll never get as popular anyway, because it's not getting added to the group
  211. Apr 03 02:50:22 <__Belgarion__> You have my sword in this fellowship
  212. Apr 03 02:50:36 <Gancolt> Drae started this, and it's his idea, but WE make it possible. We follow his idea, it is us who make this a collaboration.
  213. Apr 03 02:50:51 <Belgianchief> You have my word Bel
  214. Apr 03 02:50:55 <__Belgarion__> He is our Gandalf
  215. Apr 03 02:51:09 <Gancolt> So, simply put: trolls and attention seekers are beneath us.
  216. Apr 03 02:51:17 <Gancolt> Just note that it's mislabeled and move on.
  217. Apr 03 02:51:18 <DragonLS> people are starting to troll in the official PonyFall fics as well, now
  218. Apr 03 02:51:18 <Belgianchief> just ignore them
  219. Apr 03 02:51:34 <DragonLS> or, hell, delete 'em
  220. Apr 03 02:52:01 <__Belgarion__> I keep them
  221. Apr 03 02:52:06 <Gancolt> It's time to get this shit together and start hitting full force.
  222. Apr 03 02:52:11 <__Belgarion__> To show that I am unrustled in my jimmies
  223. Apr 03 02:52:28 <Derpy_Teh_Muffin_Mastur> that spiderman pic made me laugh
  224. Apr 03 02:53:00 <Belgianchief> Wilhelm II is a famous troll around here
  225. Apr 03 02:53:18 <Gancolt> DragonLS, I'm starting the limit cap.
  226. Apr 03 02:53:22 <Gancolt> Is that fine by you?
  227. Apr 03 02:53:26 <DragonLS> what's our limit?
  228. Apr 03 02:53:28 <Gancolt> And you, Belgianchief?
  229. Apr 03 02:53:35 <Gancolt> Whatever number we have after Rob joins.
  230. Apr 03 02:53:39 <DragonLS> fine by me
  231. Apr 03 02:54:04 <Belgianchief> yeah, it needs to be limited
  232. Apr 03 02:54:18 <Belgianchief> we have all the major characters
  233. Apr 03 02:55:36 <Asuya> I'm probably gonna be kicked then since Misty's fairly unheard of
